3 week blasts?

[nordan]

Hi there,

not Scott nor Altamir (nor any one else of the big guys here).

I started not too long ago with Fortitude Training (FT) and I found myself in the same situation. The more I practice the total body training, the more strenuous it becomes and the shorter seems to be the ideal Blast phase.

Since Scott in his book recommends a specific blast:cruise ratio of 3:1, I suspect that 3 wks blast : 1 wk cruise ratio is fine. At the end of the year if you blast for 6 wks and cruise for 2, you accumulate the exact same workload that you would if you blast for 3 wks and cruise for 1.

Furthermore, for what is worth since I am mr nobody on this board compared to Scott, Altamir and other fellas, I found also that my body responds better and the mind-muscle connection is sharper if the volume of training (TIER) decreases slightly throughout the three weeks blast to accomodate the overlap of fatigue.

Also a change of tier between the Load exercises and the pump exercises within the same session seems to help.

BTW I can't wait for Scott's answer!

Thanks for the input dude, one big family here and everyone's input is extremely valued and beneficial to one another!
